This workshop offers approaches beyond traditional, age-segregated classroom settings, and is intended for Sunday school teachers, youth and children ministers, parents, godparents and all caring adults. Glocal Workshop Session II: Music A language that speaks volumes If music has a language of its own, how can we learn it? What is it made of? Is it really universal? In this workshop we sing and share our songs and stories in order to understand what they are telling us, beyond their lyrics, and be able to share their meaning with others.
